Limited and Local

Hey all! Welcome to this weeks iteration of Younge's Beer Review. This time i'm going back to the Avery Brewing company to taste Karma, a limited release Belgian style Pale Ale from the Boulder Based Brewery.  Upon opening, the nose gives off a sweet and mild, almost plum-like fragrance that is just barely detectable. The honey colored beer pours out smoothly, leaving it's head to quickly settle, before disappearing entirely.


Karma's taste is surprisingly little like it's smell and appearance. A mildly malty primary taste and the slightest hint of bitter hops are present upon sipping, and only the hops remain in the finish (however slight). I may be overusing the term a bit here, but mild is really the best way to describe this beer. However, if you swish a bit of the beer around for a bit, some previously undetectable flavors start to come out, including the aforementioned plum taste. Overall very easy to drink, Karma does deliver in a typical range of a Belgian style beer. Although it could be a bit stronger, or have a lasting head, this limited creation by Avery Brewing Company is still a very drinkable, delicious concoction.

Final Score: 7.5/10

Until next time, keep your drinking responsible and awesome
